Good afternoon,

I'm having an intermittent issue with my tape library that I think is being caused by Backup Exec. I am using BE 12 and an Overland Storage Arcvault 12. Every now and then when I go to unlock the tape magazine, I get the following error on the LCD screen:

A SCSI prevent/allow command from the host is preventing magazine access.

I can not remove the library. The unit itself does not report it being locked, and even if I issue an unlock from BE there is no effect. To re-gain access, I need to power down the library, and unplug it. When it comes back up, it's fine for weeks.

Minor irritation I've been dealing with, but I really should find the root cause. Any ideas? It seems like BE is communication with the library even though no jobs are running.

Thank you,
